    Improve ALTER TABLE documentation · 2d1018ca

    The ALTER TABLE documentation wasn't terribly clear when it came to
    which commands could be combined together and what it meant when they
    were.
    
    In particular, SET TABLESPACE *can* be combined with other commands,
    when it's operating against a single table, but not when multiple tables
    are being moved with ALL IN TABLESPACE.  Further, the actions are
    applied together but not really in 'parallel', at least today.

    Improved wording from Tom.
    
    Back-patch to 9.4, where the ALL IN TABLESPACE option was added.
